JOHN BUSER, or New YORK, Nl Y.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent o. 34,347, dated February11, 1862.

To @ZZ whom' tjitcty concern:

Be it know New York, have, invented, made, Improvement in Bottling,rMachinery; andI arethat vthe following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of my said invention, reference being had to the annexeddrawings, making part ot this specification, Where- 1n Figu re l is afront elevation of my machine.

al section, and Fig'. 3 is an inverted plan at the line n; A

Similarv marks of. reference denote the same parts.

n that I, J oHN B UsnR, of the cityA a certain new and useful Machineshave' heretofore been inade for ineral Waters, quid is supplied througha pipe connected to a hollow cap setting over the mouth of. the bottle,andthrough which held while being tied; or a wire yoke has been e-cork'in the bottle. d invention consists bottle-holder actuated byautomatic mechanism for presenting the bottles placedtherein for thereception of .the Sirup or-other material, then to t plying theliquid'under pressure and for introducingr the corked bottle The natureof my sai 1n a revolving empty one introduced. Il em# hat turns up the wfore the pressure is relieved from that all the operations are automatically vformed with `great rapidity and Imuch til introduction and'removal of the bottles.

In the drawings,

the bed a.

bb are Iixed sli a is theframe'or table Ydes carrying. the cross-head c,from which slings'd d pass to the lower cross-head e. The by the leverfon the fulcr cork by the rod g, as now usu'al-` From; the. lever fa link2 connects with the bent lever ale, porter,

o said bottle and there` cork, after whic'h'the lled and, is removed'from said revolving` se are moved up and down um l 'toforce in the.

h on a fnlcrum 3, and to the upper end of this.V

guide for this bar 4the talon 7toward the three-armed pinion 8, tha

bar is attached. 4 isa' and 6 `is a spring keepin-gf.

that every time the lever f is given afull inotion 'the bar t' gives athird 'revolution to the bottle-holder, for as the lever' f is depressedthe talon 7 passes beyond one of the arms of' the pinion S and thespring6 throws'the s azne back, so that on raising the lever f the b Qttlef*holder is turned andfthen held by' thef-iiat part of the bar againstthe ends ofthefltwo arms 8 until the next movement isgiven.- 41';

. The revolving bottle-holder It is formed with as many receptacles 9 9as there are arms to fthe pinionv 8, and an attendant atthej-back of themachine at each-pause ofthe holder takes outa full 'bottle and puts inan' .empty one. The yokes l0 ofthe bottles Z-are turned back and restupona prolongation at one. sid e of each receptacle point at which thepipe 14 -is introduced,jand l5 is the pipe for-the escape of air fromthe bottle, with a safety-valve, as usual.

'nf is accu forming the fulcrum of the lever o,to keep c lowing thecros'srheadm to ascend. The lever 'pis carried upia'nd va c ing inoontactwith Athe roller `1 6 on c, throws 'andpress' 'theyoke 10- heldin the bottle Z. bythe -rod g', and Vas this rod gland cross.-

is returned toits .m isa secondi cross-head sliding 'onf' the ides b o,connected bythe slings 1-1 1 1 to thel usual, -to cause the hollow cap-headm to setftightly over the -irst been introduced-inthe cap i3 abovethe nterpoise onv'the Across-shaft l2,

the cross-head m' 'and parts attached eleva-ted'.

@ver p passes below` the in the cork 'is heldin that* :position bythe'lever j' while in the act of al rockin said lever, `com- :out the'upper'end 'of said lever p and causes' al'lp on the lower Y'end of.said leverjo te litt Y over-the cork 17 `as headcare' raised thelever'p former position bythesprng bottles separately, and' they wereleft .exposed for iiies to be attracted into the bottles. I am enabledby the use of iny revolving bottleholder to supply the `sirup during thepause in the movement of the holder. For this purpose I employ thevessel r. (Shown separately in section, Fig. 4.) This sets on the standfr and may be changed-'according to the character of liquid or sirup tobe put into the bottles the vessel yr loeiu,r guided to its position bysmall ribs on the stand r.

s is a small cylinder introduced into the ves-a sel r, haring a spout sto come' down to the mouth of the bottle at the pause in the movement ofthe revolving holder. This spout may have a eover,'so as entirely toexclude flies, as only a small opening is required for the sirup to runout into the bottle.

In the cylinder s is a tipping dipper t, set in slings from the rod t',vsaid dipper having a cross-axis and a crank-arm u, that takes a iixedstop, so that the dipper-t, when drawn up the' entire "h eight by therodt, is tipped to pour its contentsthrough the spout s into the bottle,and.. this rod t is actuated by the arm 'v and bar if to the parallelmotion-bars 'w and a connection 19 to the arm ofthe counterpoise n. f

- lt will be lseen that the successive opera- ,t'ious take place in thefollowing order: first, an

einpty bottle is placed in the revolvingholder; second, the holder moves`forward, pauses; third, the sirup or other liquid is poured in; fourth,the holder moves forward again and the bottle comes undervfthesupplying-cap; fifth, bottle is `filled; sixth, cork is pressed down;seventh, the filling-cap raisesand yoke is turned over cork; eighth,revolvingjlr holder nioves the third time and pauses; ninth, the fullbottle is removed and an empty one substituted, and this being donev aseach holder presents itself the operations are constantly performed andact on the successive bottles as presented.l

In bottling porter or ale the tipping dipper t may be employed to fillthe bottles, being made of sufieientfsize.

What 'I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The revolving holder 7:.,with the receptacles 9 .for the bottles, incombination with the cross-head m and parts attached for filling -andcorking said bottles as presented by the said revolving holder la, asset forth. l

2. 'lhe'arrangenlent ot" the sliding bar t, talon-7, spring G, and leverh, when combined with the revolving holder 7s for giving motion,

to the said holder and presenting the bottles to be filled .in unisonwith the other movements of thev machine, as specified.

`3; Theleverpjn combination with theerossheads m and' o, and acting inthe manner specified to turn the yoke 10 over the cork as the cross-headm is raised, as specified.

4. The vessel r,spout .s-,and tipping dipper t, in combination with therevolving holderk and eorking apparatus KVAfor supplying sirup or otherliquid to the bottle-sin saidholder la immediately prior to the'corking,as set forth- In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this19th day of December, 1861.
